    Ken is an absolute joy to work with. Not only was Ken very detail-oriented when we completed course projects together at Rollins, but he was also very skilled at anything having to do with using communication technology programs and applications. I like to consider Ken our "go-to guy" whenever either myself or a classmate needed assistance with a technology question or concept. Ken is very solutions-focused, articulate when he speaks and writes, and gets the job done -- I would never hesitate to recommend him!

    Kenneth is a great professor! He was my Online Communications and Intro to Mobile Advertising professor, and made these classes some of the most user-friendly courses within the entire curriculum. He is very easy to communicate with and truly strives to guide his students to a better understanding of their studies and industry.

    I consider him to be a great example of how to guide consumers to an ultimate goal… keep it simple, be there for their concerns, and design a system based on quality content, automation, leadership, and simplicity.

    I had the pleasure of working with Ken during our tenure in the MACCT program at Rollins College and I can't emphasize enough Ken's creativity and attention to detail when executing projects. I was always impressed with Ken's communication skills, whether written, in a group setting or via a team presentation. Adding to the mix, Ken's consistently upbeat attitude makes him a pleasure to know both professionally and personally. I would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for a skilled communications professional!

    Ken is one of the most positive and helpful people I know. Everything he does, he gives 100%, and no matter what I ask of him he says, "Sure, I'd be happy to." Additionally, he proactively offers to help anyone needing assistance. The students love his class, and just as in every other area, he gives his all to them. I'm delighted Ken and his talents are part of our Internet Marketing program.

    Ken's sunny disposition and love of work shone through rain and shine. This quality along with his fine logical mind, made him an excellent trainer. Folks felt at ease with his comportment, getting to work quickly - and were able to accomplish the important task of learning through well conceived and executed design. Even when asked to do last minute classes Ken never failed to be a star team player, lending humor, empathy and intelligence to our team.

    I have joked with Ken before that he has spoiled me for future supervisors! Ken understood that by giving me the tools for success, he succeeded right along with me. Cross-training was very uncommon in our work environment, but Ken allowed me to learn extra skills that made me more valuable to the organization. I have since used those same skills to obtain and excel in future positions. He isn't afraid to stand up for others and he protects and promotes those who report to him as much as he can. Ken is personable, understanding, and respectful. I'm grateful for the help he gave me when I was starting my career. I cannot imagine a more ideal supervisor.
